Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

In a highly concentrated salt solution, concentration of water is comparatively lower than the fluid inside red blood cells. This develops a concentration gradient.

Due to this difference in concentration, the water starts flowing out of the red blood cells across its permeable layer. Due to this movement of water, red blood cell shrinks. This physical phenomenon in which a substance move from a region of high concentration to a region with lower concentration across any permeable membrane is called Osmosis.

This process is called osmosis whereby water exits the cell through its selectively permeable membrane and into the salt solution to dilute and balance the pressure caused by the concentrated salt solution.

Identify all the true statements. In the liver, stimulation of the glucagon receptor leads to activation of glycogen phosphoryla
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

-activation of glycogen phosphorylase

-activation of PKA (cAMP‑dependent protein kinase)

-conversion of ATP to cAMP

-activation of fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase (FBPase‑1)

Explanation:

The binding of glucagon to its receptors affects the production of glucose in the liver. Once the glucagon receptors are activated, it leads to the activation of adenylate cyclase in which in turn increases the levels of cAMP (cyclic AMP) conversion from ATP. The increased level of cAMP then activates PKA (protein kinase A). PKA results in the phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase which results to the activation of fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase (FBPase‑1) which results to decrease in glycolysis.

Furthermore, PKA  activates phosphorylase kinase which results to the activation of glycogen phosphorylase and hence glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis occurs when Glucose-1- phosphate is then released from glycogen. PKA also inhibits the action of glycogen synthase.

22. What part of its life cycle is our sun in?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The Sun, like most stars in the Universe, is on the main sequence stage of its life, during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Every second, 600 million tons of matter are converted into neutrinos, solar radiation, and roughly 4 x 1027 Watts of energy
